About Us

We, Jeff and Fritha Turner, hail from McDonough, GA. We have been serving with Project AmaZon since June 2010 and have two delightful daughters Daniella and Petra.

We met at Fairwood Bible Institute where we became close friends and after graduating were married in 2006. Jeff possesses a deep toolbox of skills ranging from construction to teaching to team leading. Fritha is a registered nurse with a fondness for pediatric nursing, who delights in caring for our growing family. We both share a passion for hospitality and have an open home and open hearts for all we meet.

We bring this passion to our work hosting short term mission teams for Project AmaZon. We are pleased to provide logistical support, including translation, lodging, transportation and meals. What we are most passionate about is assisting the visiting teams to build relationships with the local believers. The teams arrive ready to bless the Brazilian people and do so through church construction, water filter installation or medical clinics. They depart with hearts aflame for the cause of Christ. With every team that comes and goes, we are privileged to witness stunning examples of the truth found in Proverbs 11:24-25

One person gives freely, yet gains even more;another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

When you think of church, what comes to your mind? Depending on your upbringing, background and current situation, many things positive or perhaps even negative come to mind. Ask a Japanese person what they think, and they aren’t sure. Church does not fit into their cultural vocabulary, so the easiest thing to do is justContinue reading → […]
